London - A 101-year-old British pensioner has posed topless for a nude calendar to raise money for a local football team, a report said on Wednesday.

Nora Hardwick will be Miss November in the calendar, aimed at raising money for her children's team Ancaster Athletic in her village in Lincolnshire, eastern England.

Nora, who likes a tipple at her local pub the Ermine Way - where the photo-shoot took place - said she was slightly nervous when stripping off for the camera, albeit draped in a tasteful pink scarf.

"I'm always game for anything, especially if it's for charity," she said, according to the Lincolnshire Echo. "And I did enjoy it, though I don't suppose I will do it again."

Nora was not alone in getting her kit off. Local councillor Sandy Ford-Pain, whose nine-year-old used to play for the team and whose husband Jonathan still coaches the youngsters, said they hoped to sell 400 calendars.

The calendar was intended as a low-key local event - although since news of the event spread media enquiries have come in from as far afield as Brazil and New Zealand
